Caricamento...
1
Dep at the end of the day on Thursday, Mr. Rottenborn played an audio recording for you where you were Heard saying you were gonna hurt yourself.
2
Do you remember that?
3
Yes, I do.
4
Okay, and I'm not gonna play that audio recording again.
5
It seemed upsetting to you But I do want to ask you a couple questions about that.
6
Okay, sure Could you please tell the jury when that recording is from?
7
The recording is from July of 2016.
8
This was a couple of months,
9
a few months after the restraining order had been put on me.
10
I had been on tour through Europe and then coming through the States, I got messages from Christian Carino,
11
who was both of our former agent, saying that Ms. Heard wanted to meet with me in San Francisco
12
because we had a—one of our last dates on the tour was San Francisco.
13
And I was confused as to why Ms. Herd wanted to meet with me,
14
especially since I was under a court order not to come within, I don't know, 100, 200 feet or something of her.
15
So at first I said...
16
Objection, Your Honor.
17
The question was simply, do you remember when that was from?
18
Yes.
19
To be honest, go.
20
Okay.
21
So where were you when that recording was taken?
22
That was in San Francisco at a hotel room.
23
So we went to a hotel room so that we could finish the discussion that she wanted to have with me.
24
And how did that discussion go?
25
Not particularly well.
26
I was quite confused as to why I had been summoned to her at
27
that point since all the news was just about the fact
28
that I had allegedly done all these horrible things to her
29
and so I was talked into I went and met with her in hopes that she would retract
30
her lies that the world was now fed, had been fed.
31
And in no way was she ready to do that
32
and I couldn't understand why I was there every everything had
33
been taken from me my children couldn't escape the fact
34
that all this had gone down so I was the question was how did the discussion go he's talking about his children.
35
It's way beyond the scope.
36
Just talking.
37
Sir, just wait for the objection.
38
I think he's describing the context around that conversation.
39
It's way beyond the scope of the question.
40
All right, I'll sustain the objection.
41
Next question.
42
Mr. Depp, why were you threatening to hurt yourself in that audio recording?
43
In fact, I wasn't threatening to hurt myself I thought
44
that Miss Hurd had brought me to San Francisco at
45
that point it was clear she was under false pretenses I don't know what she was after
46
so I I had a knife in my pocket and I just took the knife out and I said here.
47
Cut me.
48
That's what you want to do.
49
Ultimately, you've taken everything.
50
You want my blood?
51
Take it.
52
Have my blood.
53
And then she said, no, no. And then I said, look, if you're not going to take it, you want it.
54
I know you want it.
55
That's all I've got left.
56
Take it.
57
If she wasn't going to do it, I would have done it.
58
Because that's psychologically, emotionally where I was.
59
I was at the end.
60
I was broken.
61
Not only had I had to deal with everything coming in from arrows from all over the world,
62
but now she's...
63
I don't know what she was trying to do.
64
So I just thought the only answer is here, cut me, take my blood.
65
That's all I've got left to give you.
66
And obviously there was no threat to Ms. Hurd with that knife.
67
It was about spilling my blood because I thought that's what she, the only thing she didn't have at that point.
68
and I was I was broken
69
and really just at the end just at the end I couldn't take it anymore it's I thought me
70
and everybody I know that that's his job but
71
that was quite a cruel objection your honor I'll sustain the objection next question

Perché praticare a parlare con questo video?

Questo video è una risorsa eccellente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese grazie al contesto reale e emotivo della testimonianza di Johnny Depp. Le conversazioni in tribunale richiedono chiarezza, controllo della voce e capacità di esprimere emozioni senza perdere la coerenza: skill perfette per il shadowspeak, una tecnica che implica ripetere immediatamente le frasi pronunciate per migliorare fluibilità e intonazione. Imparare l'inglese con i video come questo ti aiuta a familiarizzare con situazioni reali, non solo con dialoghi artificiali, rendendo il tuo apprendimento più efficace e concreto.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

Ecco alcuni punti chiave da analizzare:

  • "I had been on tour through Europe": L'uso del past perfect continuous per descrivere un'azione prolungata prima di un altro evento nel passato. Utile per narrare sequenze temporali complesse.
  • "I was talked into [going]": La struttura "to be talked into" indica che qualcuno ti ha convinto a fare qualcosa. È una forma coloquiale molto usata nella conversazione quotidiana.
  • "It was clear she was under false pretenses": "Under false pretenses" significa "con pretesti falsi". Un'espressione idiomatica che aggiunge profondità al tuo vocabolario.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Nella conversazione, alcuni termini possono creare difficoltà:

  • "Restraining order": La pronuncia di "restraining" (con la "ai" come in "rain") e "order" (con la "or" come in "orario") richiede attenzione per evitare errori di accento.
  • "Allegedly": La "e" iniziale è debole, e la parola si pronuncia "əˈlɛdʒɪdli", con l'accento sulla seconda sillaba. È facile confonderla con "allied" se non si ascolta attentamente.
  • "Retract": La "t" finale è pronunciata, ma in modo dolce, non aspra. La parola si dice "rɪˈtrækt", con l'accento sulla seconda sillaba.

Usando il shadow speak, ripeti queste frasi a tempo con il video per migliorare la tua pronuncia e l'intonazione, imitando il tono e il ritmo naturale del parlante.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
